Over 100 Saudi scholars say no to female driving ( War on women )
Dubai Media ^ | October 24, 2013 | Nadim Kawach

Authorities warn women against joining a driving campaign on Saturday.

...

the scholars from Saudi Arabia said they were vehemently opposed to any decision to permit women to drive cars amidst intense female campaigns to have a permanent ban on their driving lifted.

The statement was issued just before the Ministry of Interior announced that it would not allow women to take to the streets and drive

...

“There is no doubt that a decision to allow women to drive is the shortest way for them to take off their face veil so they can see the road more clearly and for security reasons…it will also push women to be absent from their homes for longer periods.”

The statement said in case the ban is lifted, women have to produce photographs of their faces to have a driving licence issued for them.

“This means men will see her face when a licence is issued or renewed or when she is stopped at a checkpoint, has an accident or commit an offence…this decision means women will be seen more by men and mix more often with men while it will also give them an excuse to travel on their own without a guardian.”

Your opinion is fine, it was a non sequitor because it did not relate in the slightest to the topic at hand (the legality of Saudi women driving).

That’s a textbook example of a non sequitor.

Sorry the truth made ya recoil....Try to deal with it.

—When woman stayed home and actually raised the kids, America was still a great country which was respected world wide.—

What does this have to do with Saudi women driving?

See door #15 slick, where I clearly explained it was a comment regarding a time in America, when America was once a great and respected country.

You clearly have a difficult time with comments based in truth.

Try any and deal with it best ya can.

I see you’re another one where my comment rang your bell.

lol...

The Saudis are our enemy and I could care less what they do or if they all committed mass suicide...Do you understand this?

My comment was in regards to females here, when most did not drive as a matter of routine and a certain time in America, when it was great, and respected...

Sorry this makes ya angry...

Deal with it.

Oh ya...that’s just way too complex.

On top of being a renowned wordsmith, I bet you’re a senior astrophysicists at the genius institute.

You’re just another one of the bitter, old, lonely narcissist cranks around here who litter threads with nonsensical comments about the “good ol’ days” when women [or insert another group] knew their place in the “proper” scheme of things.

To top it all off, your comment has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand.

America’s not going to return to the “good old days”. Ever. Not one inch in that direction, especially if people like you control the narrative that comes from the Right.

You deal with that, genius.
